BOWL-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 722,228, dated March1-0, 1903.

Application filed July 3, 1902. Serial No. 114,195. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE GRIMM, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented a certain newand useful Improvement in BowllIolders, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to a new and useful improvementin bowl-holders, andhas for its object to provide an apparatus for holding a bakers bowlupon the top of an ordinary flour-barrel and also providing a receptacleadapted to be suspended upon the interior of the bowl, in which thebottom of the bowl extends, and this receptacle is adapted to containeither ice or hot water, according to the nature of the contents beingmixed in the bowl or according to the temperature.

lVith these ends in view this invention consists in the details ofconstruction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and thenspecifically designated by the claim.

.In order that those skilled in the art to which this inventionappertains may understand how to make and use the same, the constructionand operation will now be described in detail, referring to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which--4 Figure l is a perspective view of a bowl held in my improvedbowl-holder; Fig. 2, a vertical sectional view of a bowl and a portionof the barrel, showing my bowl-holder applied; Fig. 3, a verticalsectional view of the upper portion of the barrel, showing thereceptacle for containing ice or hot water suspended therein.

In bake-shops it is almost a universal practice to utilize a barrel forholding the mixing-bowl. The bowl is set in the barrel and is therebyheld while the mixing is being done; but the great disadvantage of thisis that the bowl will move while the dough is being kneaded or mixed,because of the rotundity of the bowl. My invention is for the purpose ofholding the bowl steady, but allowing for the same to be easily detachedfrom the barrel, so as to be removed.

In the drawings, A represents an ordinary flour-barrel, and B themixing-bowl.

O is a metallic ring of sufficient size to fit over the top wooden hoopof the barrel, and

through this metallic ring is formed four or more holes, and this ringis held to the barrel by means of the screw-eyes D, passed through fourholes, each being arranged upon thequarter, or, in other words, thereare four screw eyes arranged at equal distances from one another. Thesescrew-eyes are secured through the wooden hoop and through the staves ofthe barrel and are secured upon the inner end by nut-s D. If it is foundthat these screweyes are not sufficient to hold the ring D securely inplace, ordinary screws may be inserted through holes provided in thering. To each of the screw-eyesD are secured hooks E, which are bent toconform with the contour of the bowl, and to the side of the bowl aresecured four screw-eyes F, which are arranged upon the quarter, so as tobe equally distant from one another. These screw-eyes are threadedthrough a plate G and into the bowl, but not to pass entirely throughthe same. The plates G are secured to the bowl by screws or otherwise.These screw-eyes F are so arranged that when the bowl B is set into theopen upper end of the barrel and the screw-eyes F arranged over thescrew-eyes D the hooks may then be hooked into the screweyes F, so as tohold the bowl steady upon the barrel; but when it is desired todisengage the bowl the hooks E may be thrown out of the screw-eyes Fvery quickly, and the bowl can then be lifted off from the barrel.

In mixing some kinds of dough it is very essential that said dough shallbe kept at a low temperature, and then, again, in mixing other kinds ofdough it is essential that the same shall be slightly heated. Thereforefor the purpose of conveniently accomplishing this I provide areceptacle G, which is in the form of a tub, but can be made of tin orany other material, and which should be shallow in depth, so as to bringthe ice immediately under the bottom of the bowl, and which may beinserted in the barrel before the bowl is placed on top. Secured toopposite sides of this receptacle G are upwardly-extendin g hook-shapedarms H, which are adapted to hook over the edge of the barrel and liewithin notches I and downward from the top of the barrel. Thus thehook-shaped arms H will in reality hang from the metallic ring 0. Theobject of providing the notches I is to cause ICO the hook-shaped arms Hto lie below the level of the edge of the barrel, so as not to allow thebowl to come in contact therewith, which would cause the same to setunevenly. The receptacle G is .of such a size as to be easily insertedin the barrel and after being inserted in the barrel is filled withcracked v ice or with heated water, as occasion requires.

20 bowha series of plates having a central threaded aperture secured ata predetermined distance apart upon the outer surface of the bowl,screw-eyes threaded in the central apertures of the plates and into thebody of the bowl, a metallic ring adapted to seat over the end of abarrel and provided with apertures, screw-eyes secured in the aperturesof the metallic ring and having hooks secured to the screw-eyes, andadapted to engage the screw-eyes secured to the plates and bowl, ametallic receptacle having ears secured to its body portion adapted toengage the metallic ring as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in thepresence of two 35 subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE GRIMM.
